v2 Chapter 366： fate (1/2)
On the vast Gobi, a group of people hurried on their horses. They have been swaying in the wild for a week. Everyone looks dusty, but it is getting closer and closer to the final end of Yining.
But when they arrived at their destination, they found that it had been swallowed up by the fire, leaving only the charred wreckage of the place.
Matthew turned over and dismounted, standing in the center of the town, looking up, everywhere, there were broken walls, and no living thing could be found.
”I told you, they all died in the fire.”
If Zhang Heng is also here, he will surely recognize the speaker, that is, the bailiff named Morton who happened to encounter him on the first night when he came to this copy, but the current situation of the latter does not look very good. His eyes were bruised, the bones of his nose were broken, and his teeth were missing four or five. He was tied to the horse and his speech was leaking.
”I don't believe your words of the mysterious Oriental gunman ... I have lived in Lincoln County for so long and have never seen such a person.” Matthew frowned.
”Like I said, if it wasn't for the night I met him, I wouldn't believe there would be such a strange person in this world. He is like a mysterious ghost. No one knows where he came from. After that, I I asked the nearby town along the direction when he came, and no one ever saw such a person. He seemed to suddenly appear on this Gobi, killing seven good hands in the bar, and forty kilograms. The gold and what you are looking for are gone, and I did hear him say he was going to Lincoln County when I met him. ”
”Then we'll go to Lincoln County, too,” the humpbacked old man said.
”No, I won't go to Lincoln County with you.” Matthew shook his head. ”Don't think I don't know what you're calling, Cook. In Bliss, you deliberately disclosed my name to the town Man, when you go to rob this guy, ”Matthew pointed to Morton on the horse,” Must also take me, do you want to connect me with Cook in this way? ”
”You were part of Cook's gang and one of the founders,” said the humpbacked old man.
”No, I have nothing to do with your gang, and lucky Horseshoe has nothing to do with Cook's gang.” Matthew said, ”Are you guys showing me this, Cook? You and this guy named Morton Are you actually making an appointment? It's because I'm in such a large circle to trick me into going to Lincoln County with you. ”
”You can't help but look at me a bit too high, kid.” The old man humpbacked, and he found a box of chewing cigarettes. ”I'm not one of the Pacific Union Railroad companies. I can let the bailiffs serve me. Indeed, I have been thinking about how to get you to Lincoln County with me, but it seems that this problem has now been resolved by itself, and this is probably the choice of fate. ”
”I don't believe in **** fate,” Matthew said.
”I did n’t believe it, but if it ’s not fate, we should sit together in your house now. You hug your son. I hug my granddaughter. We are drinking beer and talking about those worthless. A trivia of life, and Mary ... Mary is preparing dinner in the kitchen. ”
Cook paused. ”But you're right. There is no fate in this world. Some are just weak and strong. I don't regret the establishment of the Cook Gang. I just regret that I realized this too late. I let myself have Happy life blinded my eyes, just like you are now, but the cruel life will one day wake us up. I heard that you married a woman in Lincoln County and gave birth to a daughter. ”
”Things between us, don't involve them.” Matthew warned.
